OMG My Health Insurance premiums..

[soulcougher73]

Didnt change at all for this next year!!! /RAGE

Dental went up at whole $3/month for my wife and I, but they added a lot more coverage. Vision stayed the same as well.

Damn you Obama!!!

 

[waggy]

lucky you. mine went up and dropped some coverage.

 

[diesbudt]

Mine went up 9%.

 

[calvinbiss]

Both the wife's and my company's offerings premiums rose. Both of them specifically stated in a letter that the rise in cost was due to "changes to federal healthcare regulations."

Then I went and voted...

What did you do all the previous years when it went up each year as well?

Did you vote out the insurance companies?

Never went up this significantly, maybe $10/month the past years. This year is was $200/month more.

I never got a reason. All I know is this week we were told insurance premiums went up 9%, with my company eating 3% of it (so 6% for us)

Sounds like they need to shop around more. That is a lot.

But just remember..The GOP and Romney were for Obamacare before they were against it..so vote smartly

 

[calvinbiss]

I know, I was really kidding about the voting part.

 

[sunzt]

our HDHP plans haven't risen for 2 years. The other plans rose 5-13% this year, but those increased coverage a little.

 

[soulcougher73]

One thing that sucked was the FSA account went down from $5000/year to $2500/year due to Obamacare. I didnt use that, but still lame over all.

 

[MagickMan]

Yay for health savings accounts.

Brag thread

My wife's insurance has gone up more in the last 2 years then the last 5 years combined. The biggest thing that pisses me off is that where she works supplements families more so a family of 10 usually pays 20% less in healthcare premiums than a family of 2*

Don't know mine this year yet but last year it was up 15%

Edit: The last option really annoys me. Its for catastrophic coverage only. $4,000 and $8000 deductables and you get a debit card loaded to pay for health care costs over the year. The debit card loaded amounts? $1,404.48 for a single, $461.76 for a two person or $1986.76 for a family. How the F does that make any sense?!

 

[purbeast0]

mine is still $0.00

IIRC, the promise of PPACA was for considerably lower premiums...

Not to be picky, or anything...

 

[rudeguy]

I'm still screwed.

Even more screwed now that I can only put $2500 into flex. Guess Obama needed the extra cash to pay off some dead voters.

Yeah that is one thing i didnt like was the neutering of the FSA/HSA stuff. Should be encouraging that more IMO instead of trying to regulate it away into obscurity.

 

[PokerGuy]

Mine went up 40% this year, got a nice letter from corp saying it was because of the affordable care act. Thanks obummer!

 

[rcpratt]

No coverage changes.

Medical: -$0.05
Dental: +$0.03
Vision: +$0.03

Total: $1478.04 annual, +$0.01, +0.000677%

Seriously or just tryign to make a point? 40%? At that point id just drop coverage all together and save the money.

Unfortunately, seriously . At first I was outraged, but then learned that essentially this increase just catches us up with most other companies in the area, so we had a better deal before and now because of the increase we have roughly equivalent costs/coverage as others. Still stings though.

PPACA does not allow you to do that, though.

 

[mmntech]

If that's a problem, I should really show you guys my tax return. I can barely afford a safe apartment but the government thinks I'm rich.

Thought the HSA was left alone ($6250/year). The FSA was not. I'm praying the HSA was left alone. $428/mo 10K deductible plan.

mine went up $5.. dental went up $2?
